Day 3 challenge

Welcome to Day 3! Yesterday you experienced how Sidekick researches and creates
calendar events. Today we’re going deeper into calendar intelligence—having
Sidekick understand your schedule and automatically draft your daily stand-up
updates.This is where you see the power of agents that understand context, not just
commands.
Generate a draft stand-up update based on your meetings
Experience how agents interpret calendar context
This isn’t about reading your calendar aloud. Sidekick analyzes meeting
patterns, identifies priorities, and suggests talking points for your
stand-up.
Now for the magic. Instead of manually reviewing your calendar and thinking
about what to share in stand-up, let Sidekick do the analysis:

Ask AI
Based on my calendar today, can you draft my morning stand-up update?Include what I'm working on, any blockers you can identify from my schedule, and what I focus on today.
Watch how Sidekick:
Analyzes your meeting types and identifies work streams
Spots potential scheduling conflicts or back-to-back meetings
Suggests priorities based on meeting importance and attendees
Drafts talking points in a natural, conversational tone
Agent learning moment: notice how Sidekick infers context from calendar
data, and how it’s interpreting patterns and making intelligent suggestions.
Your stand-up format might be different from Sidekick’s initial draft. Let’s
teach it your team’s style:
